Lyrics
And there's nowhere I'd rather be
(Rather be)
When they take with the one hand
And take with the other
On the day all the hands go free
(Hands go free)
Then the sun's gonna shine
The sun's gonna shine on me
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
And all the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
Mama Maria she would take my hand
Down to el río sol
Saying
Oye for real, hijo understand
Hands can hurt or heal so
Tell all the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
And all the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
All the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
And all the people go
O lo e-
Free hands go
Mama Maria she would take my hand
Down to the Rio flow
'Baxabana Ogxam'
'Baxabana Ngenoxoxo'
'Bexakwe Yinxuba Xaka'
Tell all the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
And the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
Tell all the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
And all the people go
O lo e-
Free hands go
And there's nowhere I'd rather be
(Rather be)
Gonna raise up the one hand
And raise up the other
Hurt me outside, inside I'm free
(Inside I'm free)
And there's no enemy
Everyone is my brother
When the truth comes to set me free
(Set me Free)
And we're not going to fall
In and out with each other
On the day all the hands go free
(Hands go free)
Then the sun's gonna shine
The sun's gonna shine on me
Tell all the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
And the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo
Sun's gonna shine on me
And I know
One day I Know
The sun's gonna shine on me
Let my hands go free
Let my hands go free
Let my hands go free
The sun's gonna shine on me
Let my hands go free
And all hands go free
When all hands go free
The sun's gonna shine on me
